Impact Fitting Tools

Proper mounting is essential to ensure long bearing life. Timken’s impact fitting tools are designed to facilitate safe, precise and quick mounting. Each kit features impact-resistant plastic collets. These help avoid metal-to-metal contact and the resulting shaft damage.

During the mounting of bearings, where the faces lie in the same plane, the collets enable the load to be transmitted to the ring experiencing the interference fit. If the impact mounting tool is used, mounting forces are not transmitted via the rolling elements and damage to the raceways is avoided.
